100 Green Uses for Common, Everyday Products

The average household has products for just about every condition or problem known to man or woman. A crÃ¨me for pimples, a syrup for coughs, a capsule for headaches, a liquid for bugs.

Wouldn't it be nice if some of these products had multiple uses, thereby reducing the amount of packaging and waste necessary?
